Celebrate the last of the big primaries (and Senator Barack Obama's hopeful sweep!) tonight at ObamaRama at the supperclub; contribute to a great grassroots candidate and indulge in the early open bar. Then heat things up at Jazz in Analogue at Intersection for the Arts where free-jazz bassist Lisa Mezzacappa showcases her newest body of work. The SF nightlife community throws it down Thursday night as 6 different crews strut their stuff at Solid at Mighty. Speaking of throwing it down...the lovely ladies of SF Fog Rugby will get down and dirty at Jell-O Wrestling at The Endup. If that's not quite the sizzle you were looking for on Saturday night, then perhaps some spectacular fireworks at KFOG Kaboom at Piers 30-32 is more your game? On Monday, get literary at Books, Inc. for a reading from hilarious author Augusten Burroughs' much-anticipated new novel A Wolf at the Table.

at Great American Music Hall (doors at 8pm)
The languid sounds comes courtesy of Andy Cabic's quiet, sweetly dazed vocals and guitarist Devendra Banhart's delicate, rustic strumming. Vetiver has some overlap with Banhart's solo albums in that if you played it for a time traveler from 1911, they wouldn't freak out too badly, and it possesses a warmth that can't be faked...

"Little has changed since The Loon: The band still likes to cover hooks and ballads with dense harmonic interplay, letting guitars fight it out through feedback. But the sound is thicker: Producer Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev) pumps up the bass and musses the mix, giving the band the same kind of makeover Sleater-Kinney got for The Woods..."

One of Jean-Luc Godard's most acclaimed films, his subversive foray into commercial filmmaking is a star-studded Cinemascope epic.

at Books Inc. (7:30pm)
The heart-rending memoir of one man's struggle to rationalize his turbulent childhood. It is an untapped chapter of Augusten Burroughs' life, through which he, as a child, fumbles through the space between love and hate, adoration and abhorrence, and life and death. This is Burroughs at his most uncompromising and most vulnerable.
at Bottom of the Hill (9pm)
Parades is the highly anticipated second album by Denmark's Efterklang, the follow up to their underground hit of 2004, Tripper. Comprising 11 majestic, otherworldly pop songs, Parades manages to be both magnificently ambitious and engagingly intimate; a breathtaking panorama of sound with few clear antecedents...
